Kill Bing

@cj-dennis Not even worth discussing as a feature request.
I will move it to the lounge.
If you have a serious reason for wanting to remove the Bing search engine, you can discuss it here.
I cannot thing of a single reason since you can simply remove it, and use another search engine as your default.

How does one remove Bing? I can delete any of the other search engines from the Search Engines list, but selecting Bing and minus, then Delete has no effect.
-
@dhermosillo The reason being you have set Bing as the default search engine, either for regular or for private windows, or both. Just set the default to something else and you will be able to
deleteKILL Bing. -
To kill Bing you will need Uma Thurman |;-)

@segaco It's only the second most often used browser because Microsoft makes it the default on every Windows desktop. Many users don't have enough knowledge or don't care enough to change that. Same goes for Bing. Google is doing the same thing on Android. I don't think Bing is widely used on smartphones at all, the conclusion is that the use of Bing/Google search is in most cases not a conscious choice.

@segaco said in Kill Bing:
True, it is the default browser; still, people use it.
People use it because it is the default – and that's all there is to it. There is no "still". And saying that Google isn't popular in China and Russia because it is blocked is not a valid argument. The point is they simply use another default that is imposed on them. I don't know what you want, most users don't make choices, they live with the choices others make for them – and this is exploited by any company/state which has the ways and means of doing so.
